Lazkano and Merlier have already decided it's better to lose in a sprint than to lose by getting smashed 10k from the finish after pissing Wout off by skipping turns.

The Visma riders were all at the back of the peloton. I hope they steal some placings from the sprinters.
Here's to hoping anyone but Philipsen wins it.Peloton only 15 seconds behind the 3, if correct then they'll be sprinting for place 4.
Are we talking about Glasgow coleader Philipsen?Here's to hoping anyone but Philipsen wins it.
They haven't been going that hard the last hourSo they just gonna guide Wout to victory. But you never know in a sprint after a long hard race. Wellens looked really strong yesterday.
